Developing Unity

The code for Unity is divided among several projects. The desktop shell comes in two varieties, Unity and it’s future replacement: Unity Next. Underneath those are a collection of supporting libraries that provide a common API across the Unity platform. Finally there are a number of standard components that provide the default functionality and experience of the Unity desktop.

Unity 8

Building off the successful Ubuntu Touch shell, Unity 8 will integrate all of the Unity form-factors (desktop, phone, tablet and TV) into a single codebase.
